About XLRI

XLRI
School of Business & Human Resources was founded in 1949 in
the Steel City of Jamshedpur, by Fr Quinn Enright, S.J., who visualized XLRI to
be a partner in the liberation and development journey of the independent India with a
vision of "renewing the face of the earth". Fr. Bill Tome joined
hands with him to bring that vision to fruition. Both, together with the other
Jesuit companions, worked tirelessly towards translating the Vision
"Renewing the face of the earth" into action.Over many years XLRI has developed its own
identity. The hall mark of this identity is, not to walk on the beaten path but
to strike new routes; not to benchmark but to be benchmarked, to be second to
none but to be the first to respond to the needs of the people and the nation,
by taking up the tasks which are bold but necessary which nobody has hitherto
taken up. This enterprising and pioneering spirit can be witnessed throughout
the history of XLRI.
